The Highest Paid Job in the World

A few days back I read these lines on a friend's Facebook status " BEING A MOTHER IS THE HIGHEST PAID JOB IN THE WORLD - SINCE - THE PAYMENT IS IN PURE LOVE" . I was amazed at the insight which these simple words gave me! Really - how true it is - but we in our ignorance do not understand the value of this PURE LOVE - and short change it by expecting a particular type of PAYMENT (a partiucular type of behaviour, response, show of love etc. from our children) and thus diluting the PURE LOVE that our children are always ready to give us ............ if we would just let them give it to us! Think about it ...... the child comes into this world and feels so completely secure and protected in his/her mother's arms. The child starts growing up and because he believes in his/her mother completely ........ behaves so naturally ........ tells the mother whatever is in his/her mind .....completely pure feelings ....... and what does the mother do???? She starts making him/her aware of what is appreciated and what is not ...... what behaviour is acceptable/unacceptable ......

yells/nags at wrong doings and smiles/pats/hugs at what she considers good (according to maybe her likes and dislikes, or acording to society's dictates) ! And the consequence is that the child clamps up ....... his/her continuous chatter, unpolluted laughter stops ......... to the point that he/she starts acting (just because he/she always wants to be in the safety of her love)!!!!!!!! As mothers ....... many times we are at a loss to understand what is really going on in the child's mind ........ his/her true feelings, emotions ....... etc. That Pure Love which the child was capable of giving us starts getting polluted/iluted ....... but we as mothers are totally ignorant of it ....... and we remain blissful in our ignorance. But step back, and think ......... did we enjoy those interactions of Pure Love with the child ...... or do we enjoy these diluted interactions with our children. Our children our capable of giving us that PURE LOVE ........ but are we ready to receive such a high renumeration ......... or are we happy to get shortchanged and accept only a diluted renumeration!!!!!!! It is just like "God's Grace" is always showering ........ but are we ready to receive that Grace ........ are we tuned in to receive that Grace!!!!!!!! To receive this payment in PURE LOVE requires a lot of preparation, a lot of grooming ........... a v large heart and a great strength of character ......... !!!!!! So we should really prepare ourselves for becoming mothers (and not become mothers by default) ....... and we will receive this PURE LOVE as the payment!!!!!!!! This is acutally true in any relationship ........ but everything starts with the MOTHER-CHILD !!!!!!!!!!!!
